ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April Especial
dispatches show that fearful cyclones,
tornadoes and hailstorms swept
over a considerable part of western
and southern Missouri, southeastern
| Kansas, and northern Arkansas, on
Thursday evening last, causing great
loss OF life and destruction of property.
In Bates and Vernon counties, Mis-
souri,, the destruction was very great.
West and south of Richhill the storm
ragged with terrific violence. Its track is
strewn for miles with all kinds OF
debris, including crushed and splin-
tered dwellings and outhouses, dead
animals, poultry, bed clothing, wear
ing apparel, and all kinds of farm pro-
perty. The estimated loss to property
is upwards of 100000. Six people
were killed in the neighborhood OF the
towns Of Hume and Sprague, and a
number were seriously and fatally in
jured. Humble Station, on the Pa
cifc road, was destroyed, only one
house being left standing. At the
Miller farm, three miles west OF
Sprague, the splendid residence,
barns and outhouses we've destroyed,
and cattle and other stock were killed.
Mr.. Miller, and his wife and baby
were blown into a well and drowned.
In the lower part of Linn county,
Kansas, a regular funnel-shaped twister
made a decent about 6 O'Clock sever
miles northwest of Prescott. Every
farm house in the path OF the storm
was demolished, and every house in
Prescott was ruined. Nearly every
house at Miami Junction, five miles
north of Prescott, was blown down
and several persons injured. Seven
teen persons are known to have been
killed in Linn county, and about so
seriously wounded. In Bourbon
county, Kansas, reports are coming in
slowly of terrible devastation. d. J..
Fields farm was swept clean of the
buildings and live stock, and near by
the Mills family exterminated, two
children and the father and mother
being killed, and niece and child were
found barely alive, but will recover.
The stone residence of Samuel Coles
was RACED to the ground. In Ander-
son county the cyclone badly damaged
the town Of Colony. At Blue Mound,
a town of 900 inhabitants, 20 houses
were wrecked and two persons killed.
A Scene Of Excitement I'm the New
YOrk Senate.
ALBANY. April pa prolonged
political struggle between the Demo-
cratic Governor and the Republican
Senate, relating to the appointment of
a Railroad Commissioner, eliminated
in a scene of excitement in the
Senate, which seems likely to result
in the presentation of articles of i'm
.preachment against Lieutenant Gov
ernor Jones. Upon the announce
ment that Governor Hill was about to
send in a message on the subject, a
Republican member moved that the
Senate adjourn till Monday, and in
spite of the opposition from the Demo-
,rats the motion was forced to a vote.
When the call of the roll was half con-
the Governors Private Secre-
AIRY appeared with a message, which
